George Zimmerman
Neighborhood watch captain, George Zimmerman, has pled not
guilty in the cold blood killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman shot
Martin dead as he deemed the youngster a "black male" that was
"suspicious." Zimmerman had no foundation for such a racist
conclusion, as the young boy had every right to walk through his dad's
neighborhood, after purchasing snacks to watch the NBA All Star basketball game
on television.
The divisive case continues to spur racial incidents and
acts of violence from whites and blacks, in conduct that is unnecessary. The
public needs to keep the peace and see the case through to completition. If
Zimmerman is acquitted or slapped on the wrist for murdering a defenseless boy,
sweeping financial boycotts of Sanford,
Florida should ensue, lest more
Trayvons are killed by emboldened vigilantes.
